I just found out that i have hpv. how do i get rid of it?

Time +/- treatment: Often hpv will resolve itself w/ time. If you have genital warts, they can be treated (frozen, Aldara (imiquimod) cream, acid, etc) by your doc. If hpv on cervix, see gyne. Be sure to notify your partner(s) & use condoms, but remember its spread through direct contact so if condoms don't cover the area, abstain until resoved. Consider the hpv vaccine. Its not too late to protect against other strains of hpv.

Cannot Get Rid of It: There are no medications to get rid of of hpv. Non smokers with helathy immune systems tend to clear the infection over 6-9 months without treatment. Although most will clear on its own, hpv is a virus that has been shown to cause cervical, penile, anal and head/neck cancers. If you are a female, be sure to get yearly checkups with your gynecologist. If you are a male, use condoms.
